I agree with you guys on the $1000.00 Snub nose issue, it is a bit steep, but I take it that you guys don't shoot revolvers much?
I can see how a revolver fan could spend a Thousand dollars on a good revolver. If you are used to shooting semi-auto's the first thing you'll notice when shooting a high end revolver is the trigger. Man...a good revolver triggers break is seriously like glass, smooth...crisp, man you can't even hardly feel it. Like a customized 1911 trigger, except some revolvers come right out of the box like that. It's amazing...at least I think so.
Then there's the grip, different but comfortable and natural to have your thumb bent down like that. LOL!
Revolvers are different animals for sure, but they have a LOT of features a Semi-Auto shooter can really appreciate.
